Boys take third in state

Ely’s Nordic Wolves needed to make up ground in order to reach their goal of being one of the top five boys teams in Minnesota.

And on Feb. 12, they did just that, and then some.

With Aksel Skustad and Wyatt Devine leading the way, the boys made a mad dash through the freestyle and classic races at the state Nordic skiing meet and finished third in the state and just a point away from first.
